hey guess what? now it's a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.

i hate dust. i hate what it signifies. my mother tongue could do with some brushing up too.

most of this is junk isn't it? i've no use for it.

i played uncle erik's 12-string for christmas carols at his place. good fun. holy night. i've also found a singaporean who listens to radiohead! howdy. and she's been in my family all along.

and then again 6 strings is all i really need. and maybe some brass accompaniment. start counting.

last night i dreamt of a kiss.

this is the 23/8 time 'you' i was talking about.

why should i believe myself.

'thinking about you'. 'reckoner'.

getting a bit carried away here are we. ok one last one.

while i was in melbourne i went to see the lucksmiths live, and this song was one of the highlights.

'sunlight in a jar.'

broken social scene is coming to singapore for mosaic music festival 08. incubus are coming to fort canning too. think i'll still be in bmt though.

right now i have too many things to say and too little time, so. anw i spent the weekend doing this:

how can i say "i'm back",
when, frankly, this counts as a step forward?
in the right direction. in a direction. any direction.

"Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular."

Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleecker Street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleecker Street

I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustainin'
It's a long road to Canaan
On Bleecker Street
Bleecker Street

-Simon & Garfunkel
